Surviving the food-focused holiday season without outgrowing all our clothes and slugging around like human eggnog can feel frightening. And in this episode, I'm calling on something else frightening to help us: GHOSTS. You know the Christmas story about Scrooge? (From Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol?”) Well, the same 3 ghosts that showed Scrooge his past, present and future and helped him stop being a miserable Scrooge can actually also help YOU not be miserably SCREWED this holiday season! Press play and you'll hear the whole healthy holiday ghost story.   Links related to this episode: The full show notes with all the deets & recipes from this episode!

In this second episode of Existennial I explain my strong 

My Existentialism Story, What's a Narrative Identity?, Why I 

Welcome to Existennial, a podcast where I shoot the shit about how we shape our life's own meaning on this random-ass planet and do so without miserably copy-and-pasting someone else's life or drowning in a pee-infested pool of personal responsibility anxiety. 
It's where we'll investigate intentional living through a smorgasbord of science, spirituality, psychology, philosophy, pop culture, eavesdropping, and thoughts-I-have-in-the-shower. 
I'm Talia Pollock, an author, columnist, and lover of the yoga pose pigeon. I've been questioning the meaning and mocking the absurdity of life since diapers—and I've been writing about it since tampons.
If you're a millennial going through an existential crisis otherwise known as a quarter-life crisis..or a mid-life crisis.. a .33333333 life crisis or just a regular damn Tuesday, I am oh so glad you've landed here.

Of course, if you want the greatest thing to come out of this podcast, my book, stuffed to the brim with all the puns and healthy nuggets you’ve eaten up in this here podcast, my book Party in Your Plants is a thing you can buy wherever books are sold.    If the past 207 episodes has taught me anything, it’s that my hypothesis about partying in our plants was right on the money. In fact, I said it in episode 1 of the podcast: our greatest health & happiness comes from eating way MORE PLANTS than you do CRAP.    And The only way to guarantee we’ll ACTUALLY eat the plants is to take the HELL out of HEALTHY, which I think we did mighty well in this year ERA of the PIMP podcast.    So with that I say eat your plants with a smile, monitor your mental health, love AND BLOW yo’self and i’ll catch you in my new projects so stay in the loop with me at taliapollock.com/hello so I tell you about future projects. LOVE YOU GOODBYE.

[party in my plants] 207: This is Your Brain on Plant Food, with Dr. Uma Naidoo, Food Psychiatrist

Nikki Brafman is a human design expert (in fact, she’s MY human design expert!). So much about what I teach is about living in alignment, stepping up to be your best self and living a life that is self loyal. Without human design, I wouldn’t be living my best, fullest and truest life. Or at least I wouldn’t have the verbiage to describe myself. If you read  my recent Mindbodygreen article I shared how Human design legitimately changed my life. I am so thrilled to have Nikki to thank for showing me the Human Design ropes. And telling you all about the magical ropes too, in this here chat. >> PS. Get your free Human Design chart here to help you understand this episode better! <<   Press play to hear:   What the heck is human design Why human design is different from astrology The energy types and how they behave How human design changed my life How it feels to be living in alignment Why human design can change how you make decisions How to start living a life guided by human design     Links related to this episode: The full show notes with all the deets from this episode!
